Generative AI offers remarkable opportunities to supercharge the ways in which we work across the legal industry. However, its integration into legal practice also presents significant ethical and professional challenges. This course will delve into both the challenges and opportunities, including a discussion of the American Bar Association’s first formal opinion on generative AI, Formal Opinion 512, and other ways in which the landscape has evolved over the past year, to provide an overview of the ethical considerations and best practices for using generative and other forms of AI in legal and legal adjacent work.

For the first time, we’re opening up this session, which forms a key part of our Crowell Generative AI training, to clients. This session is designed for any legal professional eager to harness AI tools while upholding the highest standards of professional responsibility. 

We’ll cover:

  • A Generative AI Refresher and Update on Its Use in Legal
  • True Tales of Irresponsible Generative AI Use
  • Ethical and Legal Obligations Implicated by Generative AI
  • Key Points of ABA Formal Opinion 512 (July 29, 2024)

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term

The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
